Micheal Furman is by far the best automotive photographer I have seen. His ability to work with light and shadows to accentuate the delicious curves on rare automobiles is incredible. People fly their car to him to be photographed. I interviewed Mr Furman several years ago, and his own journey of discovering his talents is equally interesting. All of his books are very high quality in their binding and paper choice---as collectable as the cars themselves!

I went to this exhibit twice when it was a t the Phx Art Museum and it was amazing...and I don't even like cars except pragmatically. Bought it for my husband's birthday.
